For nearly 10 years, the host of "The O'Reilly Factor" and commander of "the no-spin zone" has plowed through his liberal critics on and off-air. Perhaps his only effective challenger from the left has been now-Sen. Al Franken (D-MN), whom Fox News ended up unsuccessfully suing after the former Saturday Night Live writer wrote a book calling O'Reilly a serial liar.
But in recent weeks, a report by Mother Jones magazine has kicked off a wave of investigations into O'Reilly's former war tales and reportage, from his time as a correspondent for CBS in the 80s to his gig at "Inside Edition" in the 90s.
Here are the best-known examples of times when there have been doubts about facts in O'Reilly's stories.
